ROOM 154 · Bathroom
A little ceremony by the front hall
Published
A traditional detached house, conceived for Baton Rouge, LA.
The front hall does not need another grand gesture. In the small room beside it, chocolate walls make a white basin feel quietly deliberate. A few gold lines and a pair of warm lights are enough detail. The practical things disappear into drawers, leaving a visitor space to wash their hands and return to the table.

Dark walls make the white cabinet easy to read from the doorway. Their panel rhythm gives the small room enough structure that the mirror can be more playful: a few gold lines rather than a heavy ornamental frame. Pink at the floor introduces a lighter note.
The essentials fit into drawers, leaving soap and a clear basin. Paired lights bring the attention back to the person using the room. It is a little ceremony beside the hall, but still somewhere straightforward to wash your hands.
WHY THE ROOM WORKS
The white basin is easy to find against chocolate, with drawers keeping its small surface available.
